The news is bitter-sweet for struggling employees of the Barbados Advocate newspaper who have not been paid for close to a year. While the injunction that froze the company’s account has been lifted, there is still uncertainty over how the company’s finances are to be spent.Barbados TODAY understands that the injunction was lifted by the High Court, releasing the main account and potentially allowing the beleaguered newspaper to resume its financial operations.The case involves a fractured board of directors and the surviving sons of the late owner Sir Anthony Bryan.A well-placed legal source revealed on Thursday that the employees may still not be paid outstanding salaries because the directors continue to be split over how the finances should be allocated.“The court discharged the injunction so they are going to have some money to run the Advocate. But the Advocate still might not have money given that the directors can’t agree on how the money should be spent,” the legal counsel who didn’t want to be identified said in an interview on Thursday.
